AC Compressor Replacement in Denver

At Plumbline, our HVAC professionals are very familiar with major problems that older AC units are prone to experiencing. For units within warranty, getting your AC compressor fixed is a no brainer. But if your unit is nearing it's end of life or you're outside of warranty, it's probably time for a close inspection. Our team members are always ready to have a good discussion with you about whether to repair or replace. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money on a repair when an older risks further problems down the line. 

The compressor is the heart of your air conditioning system. It’s in the outdoor unit and its job is to circulate refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor coils. This movement allows your system to pull heat from your home and push it outside.

If your compressor fails, your system won’t cool at all — even if the fan is still running. It’s one of the most important and expensive parts of your AC system.

Signs Your Compressor May Be Failing

You don’t need a technician to tell you something’s wrong. Here are common symptoms of a failing compressor:

• Warm air blowing from your vents
• Outdoor unit hums but fan doesn’t run
• Circuit breaker keeps tripping
• Clicking or clunking noises from the outdoor unit
• AC turns on but doesn’t actually cool the home

If you see one or more of these, it’s time for a diagnostic service.

Compressor replacement isn’t always a black and white decision. Here’s a general rule of thumb:

Also consider:

• Refrigerant Type: If your system uses R-22, replace is often better since R-22 is expensive and phased out.
• Energy Efficiency: New systems are way more efficient and could save you hundreds per year in energy costs.
